SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 17 – Kalimah Ali sued
Italian motorcycle and sports
apparel company Dainese for
discrimination.
On November
2, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katharine Polk Failla
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Among the
issues was discovery abuse -
and cutting the judge off,
repeatedly, during the
telephone proceeding. Then
things turned to Ms. Ali
herself - an allegedly
undisclosed criminal
proceeding, stalking, an
unemployment claim.
On December 4
Judge Failla held another
conference, before referring
the matter to SDNY Magistrate
Judge Ona T. Wang. Talk turned
to Ali not having told her
lawyer about previous lawsuits
she filed, including against
Starbucks, and a conversation
recorded by a phone in her
purse. The defendants
"continue to see appropriate
sanctions in response to
Plaintiff's discovery
violations."
On March 17,
Judge Failla held another
proceeding and Inner City
Press again covered it. This
time, defendants ramped it up,
stating that during her
deposition the plaintiff
admitted to discovery
violations. Judge Failla
remarked that if true, this
would be a problem. There will
be motion practice.
The case is Ali
v. Dainese USA, Inc. et al.,
19-cv-2422 (Failla)
